I’d still be working on it today,” Hoskins said recently. As NPR’s Claire O’Neill
noted in 2010, Hoskins has over the years become an active part of the culture she's been documenting: small communities of descendants of freed slaves in hamlets of Kentucky's inner Bluegrass Region.

After a year of hibernation, summer 2012 packed a wallop. A lot of people, reported The New York Times recently, have been shedding inhibitions and clothes and walking around in public "with a
